Ally Bloom is on maternity leave from her job as a fashion PR. She hasn't quite settled into parenthood nor has her body bounced back yet. When her mother-in-law Judy moves in indefinitely, Ally decides to make the most of that catastrophe - by heading back into an environment she understands and can control - the offices of fashion label Moda. But her young, supposedly useless, replacement, Lola, has managed to usurp her. So Ally quits and becomes determined to nail it as a stay-at-home mum. And fitting in at her Happy Mummies playgroup is her first mission. But since she prefers Nicki Minaj to the Wiggles and fears she will also start coveting hiking sandals, it's not an easy transformation. This is a very funny debut about a woman trying to get comfortable with her new identity. You'll be nodding along as you recognise the different parenting types who make up any mothers' group.
